Grow Asia举办“缩小数字采用差距”系列研讨会第二期，探讨农业数字化转型中

**JOIN US FOR EPISODE 2: DELIVERY CAPACITY AND INCLUSIVE ADOPTION** On 8 May, we launched our fireside chat series with Stephanie Orlino of PLDT and Smart, exploring what it takes to build the digital infrastructure smallholder farmers need to successfully adopt digital tools. The conversation made one thing clear: infrastructure is only the starting point. The real challenge is what comes next — moving digital solutions from platform to farm gate. Technology alone doesn't scale adoption, delivery systems do. Cooperatives, extension networks, lead farmers, financing mechanisms — these are the critical intermediaries that bring digital solutions the last mile. Yet across ASEAN, this delivery layer remains fragmented and under-resourced. In Episode 2, David Chen of AgriG8 sits down with Erika Balzarelli from The Sustainable Smallholder to explore what it takes to build real delivery capacity at the field level: from designing for diverse realities - gender, age, and digital readiness, to leveraging risk-sharing and climate-resilience tools that enable sustained adoption. **Episode 2: Last-mile delivery and inclusive adoption ** 22 May 2026 | 02:00 PM Register here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_I6HuU6-ARsOB_WRbiy5mUA?os=ipad#/registration [Zoom] | Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Episode 2 | Digital Learning Series | Closing the Adoption Gap: Leadership perspectives on Scaling Digital Agriculture. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar. | Introducing: Closing the Digital Adoption Gap Grow Asia’s Digital Learning Series is part of the Smallholder Economic Empowerment through Digital Solutions (SEEDS) program, supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs of the Republic of Korea. As the SEEDS program draws to a close, Grow Asia is preparing to publish a landmark report, Accelerating Smallholder Adoption at Scale in ASEAN: Strategic Pathways. The report argues that the primary barrier to scaling digital agriculture in Southeast Asia is not a lack of technology, but rather an underdeveloped delivery system. Working hand in hand with ASEAN Member States, we set out the steps and coordinating mechanisms that can be put in place to address this gap. To bring these findings to life, and in the lead-up to the publication, we are hosting three fireside chats with senior leaders whose work sits at the heart of this challenge in collaboration with Erika Balzarelli.
